Try a crisis hotline just to hear a human voice? http://dailystrength.org/content/view/34147

The local mental health clinics have sliding scales, they can't let you go without meds, have you tried the local community clinic, have you applied for any available assistance, they may know abiout some resources you're not aware of. Hope this helps

if you hear of any, let me know... I'm in Ohio and my insurance ran out last December. What I have learned is to ask for reduced rates. Most docs and even the dentist give discounts for self-paying patients. When I went to the ER, they asked me to sign a paper for being uninsured... I paid the bill when it came in the mail and got a refund check.

For meds, several stores including Walmart Pharmacy have $4.00 med lists and you can google the list online... if your doc will script meds on the list, that's only four bucks for a month's supply. My reg. pharmacy has a card thing... cost me 20/yr but has saved me that several times over. Good luck!

I get my meds free from a clinic that gives me free samples and most universities offer free counseling from their psych grads and undergrads...Also walmart has the 4 dollar prescription program...I dont know what meds it includes but it would be worth looking into...peace...Mark

as far as i know..most states have something in place for low income and uninsured. i don't know if u'd qualify or not..sometimes people sit RIGHT on the income line. which sucks.
but u can usually find a place that goes by a sliding scale. if u do, make sure any meds they give u are on the wal-mart $4 list. (u can check that out online..walmarts site)

bumpitty bump...this is important stuff....

Every county or neighboring county has a free mental health clinic. Your new name will be "indigent"-- adorable, don't you think?
don't worry about it. Before I got insured I got free everything for years...do it sweetheart.

When I didn't have insurance, I went to my local mental health clinic. They charge on a sliding scale. I got to see a pdoc and therapist for about $5 a session. All my meds were also covered. Most clinics also offer groups on depression and other topics.

The quality of your mental health clinic depends on the area you live. Some are better than others. But at least you can see a pdoc and get your meds covered, in most cases.
